Know Your Itinerary:
The first step to planning the ultimate Disneyland trip wardrobe is knowing your itinerary and really thinking about what you'll be doing for the bulk of each day of your trip.
Which days will you be at the park? How many days will you just be relaxing by the hotel pool? Are you planning any side trips to museums or fine dining establishments?
By lumping like activities together, you'll better be able to plan what to wear each day (and cut down on the need to create multiple outfits for the same activity).
Once you have a basic grasp on how many days/times you'll be doing each activity, then you can roughly calculate 1-2 combinations that would work for each activity.
You do not need to plan 1-2 completely different outfits for each – just figure out a look that can be created using one or two special items combined with some foundation pieces.
Plan Foundation Items:
Next, you'll need to plan your foundation items (generally, shoes/boots, dresses, shorts, skirts, lingerie/swimwear, outerwear, and tops).
Pick 1-2 items in neutral colors for each category that would work for at least 2-3 of your planned activity days.
Don't stress out about this – you may find later that you can swap out a foundation piece for a fun accent piece later.
Consider The Weather:
Once you have a basic grasp on how you'll be spending each day, then you can begin to consider the weather conditions for your area.
Try to figure out a look that can be created using one or two special “weather-related” items combined with the same foundation pieces.
This will make it easy to plan 1-2 completely different outfits for each day depending on the weather.
Think Of Combinations:
Lastly, you'll plan each day's wardrobe and look to see where you can add/swap out accessories or accent pieces to create different looks with each combination.
Try to see if you can reuse the same accessory with another combination – you're looking for every single item you pack to do double (or triple) duty.
